Shocked at service!

I had to post this it's really wound me up. I bought this game a week before it went live, played for six months then built a new pc and couldn't log in because I forgot my security question, I don't remember ever having one or setting one up. They couldn't help me so I bought another MMO which I love, I cannot afford two subs anyway.
I receive all the spam from them and they will not remove me from their spam list unless I log in which I can't!
They don't seem to want to help anyone (they ever fix the memory leak?)
I have had to add them to my spam list.
I'm guessing they have too many players ^^

Now now, I don't think they are that bad. Like with most "customer service" things, for me at least, it always seems to boil down to luck of the draw. Either you get lucky enough to get a guy or gal on the other end who actually gives a crap... Or, far more frequently, you don't.

Sir Robin, the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot.
Who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor.
Who had almost stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol.
And who had personally wet himself, at the Battle of Badon Hill.

Pretty much this^
I'm pretty sure that within the first 6 months we were required to make security questions. Sucks you forgot it but it sucks you didn't reach someone more willing to help.

I wonder if there more strict these days since account theft and such are so prevalent in MMO's? Even when it comes to helping the real people get there accounts back.

Yeah, I'm not very patient, that's why I gave up and called it a day the first time, suppose the first time I was unlucky and now they don't care because I asked for account to be deleted and taking off their spam list.
The fact remains they lost years of my subs because they were very cold and completely unhelpful.
But I paid £64 for something I cannot use!

Don't forget you paid for a service i believe, the moment your payments stop so does the service. (Don't quote me on it though as i'm not sure)

They are supposed to take you off their spam lists if you request it. I've done it for EA in the past and had issues (I mistakenly played the Sim City Social game for 10 minutes, what a horrible experience) and it was not a pleasant experience having to go through their support and having to wait for weeks for the issue to finally be resolved.

What you're talking about is paying for access to the game as a subscriber. You pay for access to the game, not for access to customer support. Their main customer support service is free of charge for anyone who uses their products, and should be able to handle issues like this.

Thanks I will try that, that is all I ask for them to stop sending me reminders they wont let me play my own game.
Incidentally, I built new pc after PSU died with great style taking loads with it.
I also lost my bank account log in, this was sorted in about three minutes.....

Seems odd... I also bought the game prior to release. Was on the like the 2nd wave of invites on the first day of early access, cancelled my sub after 3 weeks. Didn't even pay for a month. Anyway, I returned to SWTOR about a week ago or so, I had cause to ring up CS, I didn't remember my secret questions either, but the woman I spoke to revealed the answers to me after I gave her further information, address, DOB, username. I guess you have been unlucky.

Unless they have a phone number for ALL issues (not just password issues) their service is terrible. Last time I checked, the phone number was only for secret answers or some crap.

I've had quite a few issues, and had to resort to a two week automated response to their web forum. Thanks india tech support!

If you need a lottery draw to get reliabe customer service, that does sound pretty bad to me.

Wait you didn't bother recording your information and you blame them for this? There are tons of legitimate complains but this ain't one of them.
